A
WARNING
CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IT'S NOT
Inspired by our self-inflicted sufferings, natures too,
&
Carlos Trevino
~~~
what is right... or wrong...
nature knows not the difference
the fault lies with man...
there was once order
spring... summer... autumn... winter
in which we persist...
we... in denial...
nature can see were blind...
blinkered... polluting...
there is no malice
for now... nature has no choice
righting our wrongs
wilful... our doings...
she will... don't doubt... right them all
inadvertently...
we suffer
consequences
of our own making
why can't we understand
we all face a mass extinction
that's not what nature had in mind
evolution... or where only the fittest will survive
now enhanced... climate warming now decides who lives
who
dies
the tree of life is losing branches... we can no longer
DENY
unless we stop polluting
all life on earth will
...DIE...
CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IS NOT
A star is on hat
the sweet baby's smiling face
our Linda's grandson
belongs to Royal
Zachary Bael Trevino
his beautiful name
God bless him always
in every ways of his life
sending kiss from Ind
Her Soup name we know as PD
Her REAL name is Linda you see
And Irma as well
Trevino! I yell
From my rooftop...Can’t hear me? (Poor me)
For a very special and loyal friend...
The narrow bridge I crossed, was to your heart
Fighting like a sparrow small through a storm
To rescue you before desires depart
Drifting through your endless days as they form
A broken heart brings a cold winter's wind
Chilling a fragile soul down to its core
Release darkest demons, you must exscind
Or be chained in dungeon black, a captor
Weaken this iron darkness where light is kept
Locked away tightly and quietly fed
To visit briefly as memories wept
Opening the bridge where your heart has bled
So I may find you, before love's light fades
And allow your heart to trust, never afraid

There once was a bird and a bee
They both had a secret, you see.
The bee loved the bird.
She thought it absurd.
The bird, then, decided to flee!

Birds and the bees
Good ole Clive he said to me,
Bee’s aint buzzing decently,
Mobile phones got their number,
Buzz like a bent cucumber,
broody bird said recently.
Don Johnson
When I learned of the birds and the bees
I got dizzy and fell to my knees
I saw two flies "dance"
My friend saw the chance
She taught with a doctor's expertise

Back and better to be together
With Phyllis Babcock my mother Theresa,
She is so refreshing like coca-cola
And really medicinal like African cola.
Back and better for James Fraser Mr highlander,
For poet destroyer, please don't destroy me
Could you be my builder?
Dear Dr. Ram, i still hail your nib,
Where's Royal Trevino? i always know you.
Constance la France is a silent night
There's power in silence,
Show me Andrea Dietrich, the currency in
My wallet.
Did anyone see Sara Kendrick? am looking
For her with a microscope,
Sydney Hall, Mr mad poet, take pity on me,
Am only a cool guy...
Deborah Guzzi is an enlightening haiku,
Hello John loving, you set a pace of love,
Annalise Brigham, the Caribbean beauty,
JSLambert Esquire, your ink is melodious.
Carolyn Devonshire, thanks for being there,
Audrey Carey, carry me all along,
Dorris culverhouse, you're a rare gem,
Dane Ann smith Johnson, how i miss you so.
Is that nette onclaud? i salute your talent,
Garri La Budda, a builder of lines
Carol Brown you are always a mentor.

You're a crown, a mother crown,
Am back and better for poetry soup.
Many congrats to Royal Trevino
And to Ezzelle, her new born bambino
She'll be so bonnie in pink
One day she'll make the boys wink
I toast with a Chardonnay vino
PINK JOY
A beautiful baby came into the world.
On her head a pink cap for a girl.
She was born a blonde with a little curl.
As she grew her hair was the color of a pearl.
My loving grandaughter Ashley was my first.
She's finally here and my heart almost burst.
I couldn't love her any more.
My love for her fills me to the core.
She's loving,generous,kind and smart.
Ashley has a beautiful heart.

The New Orleans Saints known as ain'ts,
Were the City's pride causing faints,
The devil stepped in,
Then hell froze again,
And it ain't the faints causing Saints!

Along with bringing many delights
One simple cowhide ball
So called centralized thrall
Bringing outward competitive rights

One more peg
to quench my thirst,
thirst of a desert
nearer to sea
so close to it
yet so far.
One more peg
to forget the pain,
pain of my heart
which I once
offered to you
but you refused.
One more peg
to end this poem,
a poem of love,
love that is lost,
lost in time
never to come.
Just one m o r e pe.......
